Reshape the Tailgate with Excavator Bucket

What happens here

With the excavator in position, the operator carefully lowers and positions the excavator's bucket against the bowed section of the dump truck tailgate. Precision is key as the operator applies slow, controlled pressure, using the hydraulic power of the excavator to push the bent metal back into its original, straight alignment. The operator makes multiple deliberate pushes, pausing between each application of force to visually assess the progress and adjust the pressure or angle as needed. A spotter or assistant is observed nearby, possibly to offer additional visual guidance or confirm the alignment. The objective is to gradually remove the inward bow from the center of the tailgate without causing further damage or structural stress.

Goal: Straighten the bent section of the dump truck tailgate using controlled force from the excavator.
